I wanted to add a little correction to my last review. Shinobi *does* give refills on their delicious hot green tea (try the genmaicha - it's very good). Jeremy and his team will take good care of you. This is one of those rare restaurants where they remember you when you come back, and there is something really special about... More

I was craving some fresh sushi and sashimi so had dinner here for the first time last night and was not disappointed. The atmosphere was relaxed but intimate and the service very good. The sashimi was delicious, the green tea was perfect for a cold day, and the rolls were very creatively presented - although I could do without the... More

Had dinner here again last night. Always walk away happy. Recommend sitting at the bar where you can see your food being made. We ordered quite a bit! - Fish Cheeks: nom - Chuck Norriss Roll: nom - Green Room: nom nom - Eel Nigiri: amazing. Looking forward to going back again soon!

Visited my daughter & family. If you would think of the earth as a big apple, NZ is at the bottom and Italy is the stem. Makes no difference whether I go east or west, there is still a 12 hours time difference. And Italy has no Real sushi. That said I did expect a good time being near the... More

Surpisingly nice experience. Not your standard sushi, but a nice trip through the Japanese kitchen.

As a long time sushi lover (10 years in LA will do that to you!) I'm really glad we have Shinobi as our 'local'. Last night they had a guest chef and we had an excellent omakase experience (the chef chose what to make for us). Their seasonal kaiseki dinners are not to be missed.... something very special with many... More

This is the best sushi in town. Freshly made in front of you with a wide range of fresh fish available. I love the big eye tuna nigiri. Good selection of drinks and excellent cocktails - thoroughly recommend for a fun night out.
